Well Folks, what do we think about Pfizer's latest bright idea of selling its POMs via Unichem only, "to avoid counterfeit drugs landing in the legitimate supply chain"? I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night!
I can feel a bit of a Boycott-mood coming over me... after all, none of Pfizer's meds are really unique in their class; Cialis could quite well be p'bed instead of Viagra, amlodipine maleate instead of istin, and as for lipitor...
Granted, it's not 100% identical, but I really feel that this time, the Pharmaceutical industry is pushing its luck just a little bit too far by wanting to control the supply chain. This could put a large private company in a position where it could apply dangerous pressure fringeing on blackmail, to the public health sector.
Am I over-reacting?
